Hi,

I am using 2 config files in my project. One is Web.config and another is web1.config.
Please see the code below. But, it is not working.

Actually i added web1.config file after completing my project and in all form I used the code:

VB

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("gridrows").ToString()

In web.config file:
appSettings configSource=Web1.config
In web1.config file:
appSettings
add key=gridrows value=10

[Moved from Answer]

I m using vb.net and getting error
"The format of a configSource file must be an element containing the name of the section."
I did like this:

VB

gridMain.PageSize = Convert.ToInt32(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("gridrows").ToString())

So what was the problem? Not working meaning?

Technically, you cannot use TWO 'Web.Config' files. But you are using two config files, one Web.config and other web1.config so it should be fine.

if you have more than 1 web.config file in a project. it should be put in sub directory. its not correct to have 2 configuration files in same directory.
